Where does the name San Andreas come from? (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)

Purely by chance I stumbled upon Old and decided to push the topic ... about the name.
It turns out San Andreas is not only the name of igruhi, but also the name of a tectonic fault stretching past Los Angeles and San Francisco ... in the dignity there are cities, the prototypes of which were LA and S-F ... so I think, what can the name come from this rift? ... who thinks about this?

More information about the fault here or here (but this is the English version)

As soon as Vice City came out, everyone already knew what the next GTA would be called. On the cities from the first)))))

But I read about the rift as a child in a book (don't count it as a nerd))) I get to know the world of "earthquake".

About the first part, exactly noticed - as soon as I saw the topic, I immediately wanted to write. Then I read about the fault, and another thought stuck that the creators put in this name more than "tectonic fault". RIFT and as a result EARTHQUAKE (as a result of some phenomena) - this is the nature and plot of this game, its reason. RIFT and EARTHQUAKE - this is the actual abscess of America. All the shit was collected in a pile and hung on a fan called GTA, they say, smell the shit in which America is mired. Everything surfaced: husky areas, their lives, corrupt cops, everything about how things are done in America, and why they are done.
And also someone had a bright thought about the sun and resurrection, maybe this is also a hint, they say: when all the shit settles down, start everything from the beginning (the sun is the beginning of the day, and resurrection is the beginning of life after death); - Optimistic notes, how can we do without them (comparable to the ubiquitous American HAPE-ENDS)
In short, let those who promoted clean, strong, well-fed, healthy from social diseases and viruses (which, by the way, also develop and reproduce) America.

And personally it seems to me that San Andreas, Los Santos, Las Venturas and San Fierro are "FORMED" names of other
cities:
San Andreas -?
Los Santos?
Las Venturas Las Vegas
San Fierro San Francisco

If about three cities in Son Andrea, then in my opinion the names and architecture are simply striking ... (it's strange why no one wrote all the parallels to the end):
Los Santos - LOS ANGELES
San Fierro - SAN FRANCISCO
Las Venturas - LAS VEGAS

KOPOLb,
It is not possible to know everything ... all the more, the name of some fault, which is already there on the territory of the Yankovsky state. And the fact that I did not know about this fault, I directly said in one of the previous posts! I have no opportunity to watch the discovery .And neh * d to cling to words, smart guy!

And this fault, in my opinion, is - I think I saw it somewhere in San Fierro, where there is a tanker and the Gand Bridge. true, my own dignity flew, so who can look and write?
By the way, there are traces of an earthquake in Sanferro - broken houses near the garage, a bridge being repaired ...

And you yourself haven't played the first part, and can't you see the post above?

in the movie "destroyer" the action takes place in ... where? right, in our beloved sanych. those. in fact, in the future, 2 cities (sf and la) merged and it turned out ... this is ... mmm. the current movie is san angeles. but in short - SA. oops!

You got it all mixed up !!! As many as 3 cities have united (or rather merged): Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego! Called it, you're right, San Angeles! That's it! It also mentioned the Schwarzenegger Library, who was (for them) the President of the United States. Into the prophecy! After all, the film was shot in 1994, Arnie was not even the governor of California at that time ...

But who watched the movie "10.5"? This is about how an earthquake with a magnitude of 10.5 on the Richter scale (a scale of nine, who does not know!) Almost destroyed California. Half the state turned into a bay, mountains rose, and so on. The word "San Andreas", which is a fault, see the beginning of the topic, is mentioned there more than once, precisely in a tectonic and earthquake-prone context, they say, he is to blame. Certain ideas are in the air ...

It's a pity there are no earthquakes in San Andreas. It would be funny to live in San Fierro ... :))))

Frank_Farmer 01.06.21

Who wanted to live there in an earthquake-prone area? Eh, to shove you in San Francisco, the year is 1906 ... Tokyo in 1923 is also not bad ...

I continue the theme from the movies ... in "Invisible 2" at the very beginning, a close-up shows unfinished / dilapidated statues in the agromous hall. very similar to those of the attrium in the LS.
out. in the "big jackpot" in one episode, Mouzon sounds from a casino in LV. (or does the game play Mouzon from the enty movie?)

Ha! And on the radio K-DST they play the song Heart-Barracuda, which appeared in the movie "Charlie's Angels" and at the beginning of the game Pray (not a bad shooter, I recommend it, only the head is spinning after it ...)
